For a good slideshow, Go search "Vallen Jpegger".It'a a free programme that makes all pics full screen while you watch a slideshow. Doesn't matter how big or small the original pic is.You can specify how long each image is on screen.

Simple to use, just put your favourite pix in one folder, open it with Jpegger and start stretching.

For added enjoyment, I got a 5 metre s-vid cable to use the tv as a 29" monitor.Before, I was a bit limited with the positions where I could still see the computer but now I have the whole room.Pure luxury.
